New USA exclusive sets!
« on: April 20, 2011, 00:12:10 »
Hi

Just found piccies of new USA-exclusives on "Klickywelt", posted by member "Vampeta". Not my theme, but I think the bus is quite nice

(as Vampeta wrote in a post on Klickywelt that he obtained the pics copyright-free, I didn't go through all the pm-ing again to ask permission to repost them here, like I did last time)

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Alright  :yippee: finally an American styled truck

The school bus is interesting, we call those "the short bus" 

Is there any new items in the Hospital?

How come klickywelt knows about US exclusives before we do? :lol:

Yes but we get to buy them  ;)

I do not know about other areas but we here have not used those type of garbage trucks for many many years. We have the type with the hydraulic arm that grabs the can on the street and lifts it up to the top of the truck only requiring one operator. This type of truck requires more labor as you need to physically attach the can to the back and hydraulically lift it up. I have not seen this system for over 20 years now. Geobra sure knows how to stay classic

Well, having a hydraulic arm at all is an improvement. We seem to have skipped this type of truck in our area. Until five years ago, both garbage and recycling trucks had operators who would pick up the stuff by hand and throw it into the truck. And now they have the hydraulic arm on the side that lifts them straight from the curb.

I know it is weird but I have been waiting for playmobil to make this type of truck cab for ever. I was always admiring Manu's custom trucks but did not want to make one. Finally geobra  :woohoo: but look more closely at Manu's long haulers for the future US exclusives please  :P

I hope that bus does not have sounds and hard wheels like that hideous fire truck. It looks like it has lights or is that deceptive box art again ?

A school bus! Excellent! I would have preferred a full size bus, but I think it's an improvement over the other school bus. And it should be much more affordable!

Now, when/where can we expect to get these items?
